This was definitely NOT my Mother's potato soup! But it was really, really good! I did add an additional can of broth, because I thought there was not enough liquid after adding the potatoes, onions and leeks. The leeks imparted a sweetness to the soup, which I liked. Will have this again, especially when it gets cold outside! Thnx for sharing your recipe, janice. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
